After a huge year that put cryptocurrency on the radar of mainstream investors for the first time in 2017, 2018 was disastrous for investors. The cryptocurrency market lost roughly $700 billion in total market cap this year as the 2017 bubble burst and traders took what profits they could.

Dec. 16, 2017 was the day bitcoin prices hit $19,783, the cryptocurrency’s all-time highest price. A year ago, bitcoin price targets of $60,000 or even as high as $400,000 were being tossed around on Wall Street. The OTC-traded Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC) is down 51 percent in the past three months alone as the sell-off has accelerated.

What I think you’re seeing is the washout of these retail investors and now as the institutions like Fidelity, ICE, etc. [come in],” he said.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices soared Monday after Fidelity announced the launch of a new company that could help increase access to digital currencies. What Happened? One of the biggest criticisms of cryptocurrencies in the early stages of their development are that they're difficult for the average investor to access and that they will need to become mainstream in order to survive and thrive. While a number of cryptocurrency-oriented financial services companies have sprung up in recent years, Fidelity is the first traditional Wall Street form to provide cryptocurrency solutions like custody.
